Blood For Blood

Chaos erupted inside the hall at the deafening gunfires, and people were frantically running all over the place in terror. The alphas were seeking cover behind their bodyguards as they began firing aimlessly at the crowd. I turned to search for Jungkook, but he was nowhere to be seen. BANG BANG BANG.

"Sora!" Taehyung yelped, tugging me back under the stage when I tried to search for Jungkook. I need to find Jungkook.

"J-Jungkook! He was in the crowd!" I stuttered, turning to Taehyung with my eyes wide open in fear. BANG BANG BANG.

"You can't go! We have to leave!" Taehyung gritted as he tightened his grip on my arm. I couldn't focus on anything. All I could think of was the thought of Jungkook- trapped in the crowd. He's in danger!

"HE'S OUT THERE! HE WARNED US!" I cried, shoving Taehyung away from me and hurriedly crawled out of the stage. I can't leave him out there!

"PROTECT THE SUPREME ALPHA!" The chief guard screamed when they saw me dashing into the crowd. Where's Jungkook?! Multiple people dropped onto the ground, wounded by the showers of bullets as blood seeped across the marble floor. The victims screamed in pain as the blind shots plunged into their bodies. BANG BANG BANG! I covered my ears and pushed around to search for Jungkook. Guns turned to aim at me as I fought my way through the crowd. Wails and gunfires filled the venue until my ears turned static. All I could hear were the distorted and muffled sounds of the chaos...

"WATCH OUT!" Taehyung roared. He grabbed a gun from one of the bodyguards and began firing at the upper left corner of the staircase where a bartender stood aiming his shots at me from above. I'm scared... but I won't leave Jungkook either! Panting nervously, I sprinted forward at full speed, skipping over the bodies. I-I can't be scared- BANG. I snapped my head in horror... the shot missed me by half a meter to the left. I'll drop dead if I stop moving! BANG Taehyung shot down the bartender on the upper floor- BANG a shot hit a woman in front of me right in the head. I stopped dead with my mouth hanging open in terror as the woman stared at me with her terrified eyes... dropping dead onto the floor. I turned to find Taehyung staring at me with the gun raised in his hand. He shot her. I unblinkingly stared at him. Why did he kill her?!

"BE CAREFUL!" A bodyguard threw himself over me. BANG. The impact sent me tumbling onto the floor with the bodyguard. Taehyung frantically turned to aim at the lower back door where the shot came from. The bodyguard rolled off me lifelessly as I sat up in shock and shook my head to get rid of the dizziness.

"N-no... I'm sorry," I whispered as tears filled my eyes... blood was spreading over the guard's shirt as he remained twitching on the ground in distress. BANG. Taehyung took down the man behind the door, but there were still many more waiting for the opportunity to eliminate us. I unsteadily got onto my feet and turned to look at the innocent woman Taehyung shot, sprawling on the floor with a gun grasped tightly in her hand. My heart dropped. She was going the kill me...? I bit my lips and turned to find Taehyung firing repetitively to keep me safe. He was protecting me.

"AH!" I winced when someone bumped into me. I lost my balance and toppled hard onto the floor. Fuck. I tried to get up but couldn't because people kept running into me. Someone kicked my lower back, making me whimper in distress, and then someone bumped into my shoulder, sending a surge of pain up my shoulder. BANG BANG BANG.

"Sora!" Someone yelled from under the table to my left. I turned to find Jungkook staring at me with his anxious eyes. He hastily crawled towards me, and that's when I noticed a guard averting his gun towards Jungkook from behind a cart to our right.

"N-NO! DON'T COME OUT!" I screamed in fear as the guard tried to secure his shot at Jungkook.

"STAY THERE! I'M COMING TO GET YOU!" Jungkook cluelessly pushed through the crowd as I struggled to get up.

"JUNGKOOK!" I screamed after leaping onto my feet, racing towards him as fast as I could. BANG. I crashed hard into Jungkook as he caught me in his arms. We tumbled onto the floor. I felt a sharp burning sting on my upper right arm. Shit... the bullet grazed me.

"SORA-"

"COME ON!" I yelped, hastily pushing Jungkook back under the table when the guard quickly turned towards us again. BANG. I was cut off when the bullet hit a reporter trying to escape the room. Jungkook and I tried to dash under the table, but two staff shoved us away and took over the table. Abruptly, the crowd cleared up. Jungkook and I were on our feet, visibly exposed in every direction. The guard behind the wine cart darted us a smirk and began handling his gun again.

"WE CAN MAKE IT TO THE DOOR!-"

"NO, WE CAN'T!" Jungkook snapped, grabbing my shoulders tightly.

"Wha-What are you doing!? NO- NO! DON'T DO THIS?! PLEASE!" I cried in bewilderment when Jungkook suddenly drew me into a tight hug, engulfing me in his arms with his back turned to the guard. HE CAN'T SHIELD ME! HE CAN'T DO THIS! I smacked him repeatedly and screamed in distress to free my body, but he wouldn't release me.

"WE CAN MAKE IT TO THE DOOR! JUNGKOOK- PLEASE! LET ME GO!" I pleaded at the top of my lungs.

"Sora, I Io-" BANG. Jungkook was abruptly cut off, and he turned stiff. My heart sank. No... no... NO! I can't lose him too! I'll never forgive myself! I tried to push Jungkook away, but he wouldn't let go.

"J-Jungkook- are you-"

"It wasn't me. I'm fine," Jungkook whispered, tightening his grasp around me.

"FIRE ANOTHER SHOT AT HER, AND I'LL BLAST OFF HIS HEAD," A familiar voice echoed in the disordered hall. I sucked in my breath in shock.

"Jimin..." I whispered, turning to find Jimin dressed in black tight jeans, a black hoodie, and a cap over his head. The guard who was targeting Jungkook was dead on the floor. Jimin must've shot him. I averted my eyes to find Jimin pressing the gun against- Oh my god. My heart stopped beating the instant I laid eyes on... Yoongi... Yoongi was on his knees. Jimin roughly shoved the gun against Yoongi's head while he glared at the people in the venue.

"This is fucked up," Jungkook whispered while staring at Yoongi in confusion. Why is Yoongi here? Why is Jimin here?

"COME OUT NOW OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOUR SON!" Jimin roared in rage... veins were forming on Jimin's forehead as he hastily thrust the gun against Yoongi.

"WE'RE HERE! DON'T YOU DARE HARM HIM!" Mr. and Mrs. Min appeared in fear. They stood on the opposite side of the room with drained expressions as their guards cautiously aimed at Jimin.

"YOU FUCKING MURDERER," Jimin bellowed furiously at the Mins, who was eyeing Yoongi worriedly.

"Let go of Yoongi!" The Mins snapped, gradually approaching their son.

"STAY STILL!" Jimin angrily smacked Yoongi in the head with the gun, causing Yoongi to groan in pain. Why is Yoongi so pale? His fair face was depleted of blood. He had dark circles around his eyes, and his dry lips were all chapped. He was fine this morning... I-I don't understand...?

"HE'S IN A HIGHER RANK! YOU CAN'T HARM HIM-"

"YOU'RE THE FUCKED UP PARENTS! YOU'RE THE ONE HARMING YOUR OWN SON!" Jimin growled with his burning eyes trained on the Mins. What's going on...? I anxiously turned to look at Yoongi again. He's out of his mind... What did they do to him...? Why does he look so sick? Jungkook picked up a gun from the dead woman and aimed it at the Mins with a sore expression on his face.

"What are you talking about!? Are they responsible for this?" Seokjin called out from the far end of the hall. His guards circled him and his parents to keep them away from harm. Namjoon stood near the stage, where his guard shielded him. Minah, Minho, and Mira huddled together near the Mins. Taehyung was cautiously inching towards Jimin with a gun gripped tightly in his hand. Hoseok, on the other hand, crawled out from under a table near us when his guard reached him. Everyone was confused by the commotion, so the alphas cluelessly aimed at each other. Who's the mastermind behind this massacre?

"THEY DRUGGED THEIR OWN SON! AND SENT HIM AWAY- SO HE WOULDN'T RUIN THEIR FUCKING PLAN!" Jimin snapped his head at the Mins.

"YOU'RE FALSELY ACCUSING-"

"YOU WERE SMART. YOU MADE IT LOOK LIKE YOU WANTED ME- BUT I WAS ONLY A SCAPEGOAT. THE REAL TARGET IS SORA. YOU WANTED HER DEAD BECAUSE YOU KNEW SHE COULDN'T HARM YOONGI!" Jimin gritted as he briefly glanced at me. I stood frozen in my place. M-me? I can't think straight... Why me? My guards tried to reach me, and Jungkook- Click. I felt something warm against the back of my head. My heart leaped in fear.

"Move, and I'll kill her," Hoseok's chilling voice rang from behind me. My entire body went numb. Jungkook and Taehyung quickly turned their guns towards Hoseok, who was now pressing a gun against my skull. My guards immediately backed away in horror. Jimin snapped his head in my direction in panic, but I slowly shook my head. Please stay where you are.

"You're with Yoongi?" Jungkook asked, securing his aim at Hoseok.

"Yes, he's with the Mins! YOU MADE EVERYONE THINK I BETRAYED YOU, BUT YOU'RE THE REAL TRAITOR! I FOUND OUT WITH NAMJOON'S HELP!" Seokjin bellowed angrily at Hoseok. I glanced sideways at Hoseok to find him gulping, but he maintained a straight expression. All those innocent laughs... jokes... He was only pretending, so I'd lower my guard around him?

"So you poisoned him-?" Minho asked.

"As a warning, yes," Namjoon spoke dully.

"Wait, wait. So you poisoned me and Haerim-"

"You were unlucky. He was trying to kill Jimin and Haerim to disable Sora and Taehyung," Hoseok scoffed at Seokjin in a mocking tone. One of the Mins guards tried to move, but Taehyung quickly snapped his gun at the guard.

"Take another step, and I'll kill you," Taehyung warned them in a dangerous tone.

"We know nothing about this- so can we leave?!" Minho asked while staring at us with a dumbfounded look. They were caught in the crossfire between the top alphas.

"Your girlfriend harmed Yoongi," Hoseok spat at Mira.

"Guards, divert your weapons to Jung Hoseok!" Minah ordered, so her guards shifted their weapons towards Hoseok instead. However, Hoseok's guard responded by aiming right back at Minah.

"Are you out of your mind-"

"Sora is my friend!" Minah snaps, cutting her parents off. The Kims and Jeons were at the far end of the venue, separated from their sons, but they were protected. Where are my parents..? I searched the hall, but they were nowhere to be seen. They aren't even here to save me, huh...?

"We're not responsible for this. You're the ones attacking each other. Your accusation can't justify our actions. If the Mins wanted to eliminate the alphas- Why would we attend-"

"Exactly. You attended the event to avoid suspicion while sending your drugged son away to keep him safe. You thought no one would notice, huh?!" Jimin spat at Mrs. Min.

"Boy, you do not have any evidence against us, but we do because you're holding a higher-ranked alpha hostage at gunpoint!" Mr. Min growled at Jimin.

"You're in big trouble, Park Jimin," Hoseok chuckled darkly, sending chills down my entire body. Trust no one... I shouldn't have trusted him.

"You can't harm him. Not under my protection," I warned the Mins.

"Miss, you're on the brink of death right now. A gun is shoved against your skull. What can you possibly do?" The Min's chief guard chuckles sarcastically at me.

"Who said Jimin doesn't have evidence? Chief, do you remember when I accidentally spilled water on you... back at the hotel?" Jungkook suddenly smirked at the chief, who shot him a baffled look.

"Release my son. Now isn't the time to fool-"

"Do you remember?" Jungkook questioned the chief guard... rudely ignoring the Mins.

"Stop changing the topic! LET GO OF OUR SON," The Mins demanded impatiently. Jimin turned to stare at Jungkook to find him smiling smugly at the Mins.

"Turn off the lights," Jimin demanded in a dangerous tone. Huh?

"What?" The Mins asked in confusion.

"Turn off the lights! Now!" Jimin snapped, so Taehyung averted his gun to a staff crouching beside the door.

"Kill the light," Taehyung ordered.

"YAH YAH YAH! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Seokjin yelped when the staff shakily opened the light switch pod. click click click.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! DON'T- *BANG*" One of Hoseok's guards tried to fire at the staff, but Taehyung shot him down right before he could even pull the trigger. Everyone in the room tensed up... guards were aiming at one another within the tense venue.

"Kill it," Taehyung snapped, so the staff shakily turned off the lights and the room turned pitch black. However, it wasn't completely dark. The room glowed in green neon lights.

"Fluorescent...," Namjoon's voice echoed in the darkness. I thought my head was messing with me back on the stage, but it's actually real... stains of fluorescence were spattered on some of the fallen bodies on the floor... especially... the Mins... their guards were glowing brightly.

"We were suspicious after we found out Sora's phone was being monitored by an anonymous source before the trip. So I spilled a whole jar of dense fluorescent liquid on the Min's chief guard. It doesn't wash off and will spread upon contact with people or objects," Jungkook's voice echoed from beside me when I felt something brushing my left hand in the dark. As Jungkook spoke, he slowly linked his hand with mine and gently tugged me away from Hoseok. It was dark, so it was hard to see anything besides the glowing fluorescent light. My phone was tapped? By who? They knew?

"You spilled it. Of course, it'll spread! Turn on the light!" Mr. Mins' voice echoed.

"Wait. When it happened- The water Jungkook spilled also splashed against my legs. But why don't I have any stains?" Mira questioned in the darkness.

"He lied. The water isn't fluorescent," Namjoon spoke up. I carefully stepped over a body in the darkness. Jungkook carefully nudged me behind him.

"Bingo. We thought I was the target, so we used fluorescent powder to confirm our theory. The day before the trip, Taehyung and I received insider information about an anonymous alpha household purchasing weapons from a mafia group and transporting them to Busan. So we got a package of powerful fluorescent and paid an undercover to spread the fluorescent on the weapons during transport. The fluorescent powder was supposed to help me identify my exterminator. So tell me... how did the fluorescent stains reach all of the Min's guards...? The weapons were supposed to be used on the Parks but to my surprise... the entire room is glowing. You're all here... at a weapon-free event... even the staff were covered in it. So tell me... tell me why the fuck are you all glowing?! WHY DID YOU BRING THE WEAPONS HERE IF I WASN'T ATTENDING IT?! IT'S BECAUSE IT WAS MEANT TO KILL SOMEONE ELSE!" Jimin cursed in the dark. Just then, I accidentally pushed over a tray causing it to clatter on the floor... sending waves of panic in the darkness. SHIT. 

Click Click Click...

"TURN ON THE LIGHTS!" The Mins demanded. The lights flicked back on, making me squint at the sudden brightness.

"What the hell- Where did she-" Hoseok panicked when he realized I was gone but quickly froze when Jungkook pointed his gun at him. Jungkook tightly held onto the handgun as veins bulged along his thick forearm. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows.

"Yoongi!" I gasped when I noticed white foam flowing out of his mouth. What's happening?... How badly did they drug him?!

"RELEASE HIM NOW!" Mr. Min howled.

"WE WON'T LET HIM GO! YOU TRIED TO MASS MURDER US!" Mr. Jeon angrily snapped, ordering his guard to keep the guns on the Mins.

"You overdosed him!" I shrieked in horror. Yoongi was gray... he's drained. He needs help.

"LET MY SON GO NOW-"

"YOU KILLED YOUR OWN SON," Jimin bellowed at the Mins, refusing to release Yoongi.

"LET HIM GO-" Mr. Min suddenly grabbed a gun from one of the guards and turned to Jimin. My heart thumped in fear. Mr. Min is boiling... he's going to pull the trigger! I can see the wrath in his eyes!

"JIMIN!- * BANG*," I cried, rushing towards Jimin in horror but to my surprise. Taehyung launched over Jimin. The bullet went through Taehyung's upper back- sending them crashing onto the floor. My entire body turned cold. No... Taehyung. .. I hurried over to Taehyung, who was lying unconsciously in Jimin's arms.

"NOT MY SON!" Mrs. Kim exploded- gunfires went off in all directions again. Yoongi weakly dropped onto the floor, so I seized him before he hit the floor. His skin is freezing cold ... Jungkook rushed toward me to defend us with his guards. BANG BANG BANG.

"TAEHYUNG! TAEHYUNG! I'M SORRY!" Jimin howled, painfully sitting up. He was soaked in Taehyung's blood. They're both hurt... I'm dizzy from all the emotions... and pain.

"T-Taehyung... Y-Yoongi..." I whispered, glancing back and forth between the wounded alphas.

"We have to go!" Jungkook screamed as he turned to us. BANG BANG BANG. Three of our bodyguards dropped onto the floor.

"Yoongi, stay with me! Yoongi-ah!" I sobbed while rubbing the bubbling foam from his mouth. He doesn't deserve this! How can his parents do this to him?!

"Sora...," Yoongi whispered hoarsely. His eyes were growing dim as he breathed in difficulty. He weakly reached out for my hand, so I grabbed his fingers and gave him a tight squeeze. BANG BANG BANG.

"WE HAVE TO GO-"

"YOUNG MASTER!" One of the bodyguards tackled Jungkook onto the floor to dodge the bullets.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Mr. Min roared, approaching me with a gun aimed at me. It was so sudden- I was paralyzed by the disastrous outburst, so all I could do was stare at him in terror.

"SORA!" Jimin and Jungkook bellowed, trying to reach me- but Jimin couldn't push Taehyung off him on time while Jungkook struggled with the dead bodyguard slumping on top of him.

Everything slowed down... Mr. Min's vicious glare burned into my eyes as I sat watching him march toward me. Jungkook and Jimin scrambled for me... but they were too late.

BANG ... Mr. Min pulled the trigger... in a split second. I was flung backward... Yoongi shielded me with his body... the impact of the shot on his back sent us tumbling onto the floor. Yoongi's face twisted in pain as he lay over me. Mr. Min dropped his gun in horror.

"Sora...," Yoongi whispered while staring at me in pain.

"Y-Yoongi... n-no... YOONGI!" I screamed in distress when his eyes dropped. His head flopped weakly against my shoulder. I wrapped my arm around his body and bawled at the top of my lungs. Every part of me broke into pieces... pain tore through my chest as I sat up with Yoongi in my arms. Yoongi's blood soaked all over my dress as I held onto him. I turned to gaze at Taehyung and gripped his hand before turning back to Yoongi... wailing in agony... as I stared at my blood-soaked hands.

"SORA, WE HAVE TO GO!" Jimin snapped, grabbing my arms, but I refused to release Yoongi. It's all my fault. It's... all... my fault.

No... Sora- it's not your fault. A voice whispered in my head. They're the ones causing you this pain... they took everything away from you... they're the blame... not you.

Chills surged through my entire body as the hollowness filled my empty voids... resentment angrily stirred inside my chest as everything around me grew dim. It's their fault. The darkness engulfed me as I sat breathing calmly within the destructive chaos.

"ARGHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I yanked Jimin's gun out of his hand and got onto my feet. Waves after waves of vengeance thundered on my chest as I raised the gun... aiming it straight at Mr. Min.

Thud... Thud... Thud... I couldn't hear anything but my hammering heartbeat...

Mr. Min stared at me in dread.

"Goodbye," I sneered, finally pulling the trigger. 

Bang.
